| Résumé: | This is the first book to explore the representation of Buddhism in contemporary films directed by both Asian and non-Asian directors. It examines the cinematic encounter with Buddhism that has fl ourished in Asia and in the West in the past century -from images of Shangri-La in Frank Capra's 'Lost Horizon' to Kim Ki-Duk's 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring'. The book illustrates how these representations are often fraught with political, nationalistic, gendered and racist undertones that are missed and overlooked by viewers |
